Invalid Cast Problem

[sitefinitysteve]

I have 2 RadDateTime controls inside my <FormTemplate>

Editing works perfectly fine, but when I try and create a new item...it throws this...?

Any idea?...if I remove the SelectedDate property everything is fine again...

Exception Details: System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.

Source Error:

Line 243: <div class="inputItem"> Line 244: <label class="rcbLabel itemLabel">Opens:</label> Line 245: <telerik:RadDateTimePicker ID="fromDatePicker" runat="server" Width="245px" DateInput-DateFormat="dddd MMM dd, yyyy h:mmtt" Skin="Sitefinity" SelectedDate='<%# Eval("FromDate") %>'> Line 246: <DateInput runat="server" EnableSingleInputRendering="true" /> Line 247: </telerik:RadDateTimePicker>

Hi,

I am not quite sure about your issue. One suggestion is that you can bind the date in edit mode as shown below.
C#:

protected void RadTreeList1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.TreeListItemDataBoundEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is TreeListEditFormItem && (e.Item as TreeListEditableItem).IsInEditMode)
    {
        TreeListEditFormItem item = (TreeListEditFormItem)e.Item;
        RadDateTimePicker pkr = (RadDateTimePicker)item.FindControl("fromDatePicker");
        pkr.SelectedDate = Convert.ToDateTime(DataBinder.Eval(e.Item, "Fromdate").ToString());
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy

Thanks, turns out the answer was the oft-forgotten DbSelectedDate, not SelectedDate :)

WHOOPS, thanks :)
